general information:
Born on April 11th, 1986 in Westbrook, Maine; Celeste was given two stuffy parents that were so uptight that they could literally hold a dime between their asscheeks and sprint a marathon without the dime even budging. Christopher was heavily into politics and even attempted to run for mayor, failing of course because no one wants an asshole for a mayor. His actual title is a family law prosecutor. Margie was one of those women that just sponged off of her husbands notoriety and only held a job selling Mary Kay in order to get the discount on their products. Her older sister was nearly 5 years her senior and of course the golden child in their parents eyes. She was poised, proper and all around the perfect child. Celeste was not. She was awkward, barely graceful and always independent. The family tried to force Celeste into their cookie cutter they had planned out for her, taking her to counseling and even trying to take away toys and other things in hopes that she would just 'cut it out' and follow suit. After the birth of her younger sister, they laid off slightly and focused on trying to groom her to become miss perfection as well.
In elementary and middle school Celeste was the girl that rather chase the boys with mud and play kick ball with them than spend time sitting on the swings talking about about how cute whatever the flavor of the week obsession was. She never really thought anything of it but she knew the look of worry washed over her parents' faces. She didn't mind though because she was just a kid being a kid. When she was in middle school she dated two boys, one she stayed with until they began high school. The two of them were pretty close until he began to pull away and she began losing interest in trying. Her first year of high school she was quiet and a bit reserved, afraid that she was the weirdo that her parents had always claimed she was. She broke out of her shell a little and began seeing a few boys, one in particular stole her heart. She gave him her virginity and he gave her an std. Not on the same night of course. She had been afraid to be with another man but ultimately had two more partners after him, one a teacher - that still wants it to this day and one was a one night stand that she accidentally slept with while completely drunk.
In high school Celeste claimed herself as a lesbian despite the fact that she had been with a couple of boys before. In her senior year of high school she began becoming attracted to men again, one man in-particular her best male friend, Franky. She tried to tell herself that it was just because they were close and that she felt the urge to be close to someone. The two of them shared a lot, they would sleep next to one another and treated each other as if they were just best friends, he saw her as a male and she saw him as an annoyance. When Franky began spiraling downward into his depression she tried to do everything and anything to bring him out of his funk. The day he tried to take his own life Celeste felt like a part of her own life had been taken. She couldn't stand to see him that way and it made her feel as if she had failed him as a friend. The two had lost touch with one another only contacting periodically via internet chat sites and the occasional email back and forth.
When the thought of losing him struck her so hard she realized that he was the one who had her heart all along. Toward the end of their senior year in high school she admitted her true feelings about him through an email, little did she know that when she hit send an email came through from him stating nearly word for word what she had sent to him. The two of them started up a long distance relationship that urged her to join him in New York upon graduation. She applied for several colleges in New York, being accepted for CCNY she packed up and moved where she would be studying Special Education. The two of them met up almost immediately after her arrival into the Big Apple. They fell even more in love with one another than they had been while they were in high school. She felt deep down inside that he was her one true love. While studying at the university, starving and living off of what she got in grants and loans she grabbed a part time job as a dog walker and baby sitter for whomever needed her at the moment.
In the Spring of 2009, Franky took Celeste to a special spot that he first took her when she came to New York and got down on one knee asking her to be his wife. Celeste said yes with much enthusiasm and squealing laced with a flailing and jumping around move. She couldn't stop grinning and wanted to show off her ring to everyone in site. Going on a year of being engaged, Celeste has spent much time gathering ideas and trying to figure everything out. Knowing that neither of them can afford a brand new home or the wedding just yet, her just having just graduated and still trying to get her foot in the door as a special needs teacher and him still being a medical student; she's planning everything carefully and calmly in order to make everything affordable and still amazing. The two of them reside together in a rinky dink apartment despite his father offering to buy them a home. Little do they know that they are in for a surprise, Celeste is currently pregnant and neither of them have any suspicions or thoughts to that being a monkey wrench thrown into their life plans.
